Yearly Handbook

Yesterday, I received an email from a friend, Jai (almost 21 years have not seen her). Her email came at a very right time... when I really need those encouragement in life. Thanks Jai... and I would like to post it here as a reminder to myself...
_________________________________________________________________________

A handbook for each and every year indeed !

Health:

1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's ; Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2008.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:

11. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake..
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:
25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. GOD heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most is always happy.

SO... BE HAPPY AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

Fikir-fikir

Tak baca rasa salah, baca pun rasa salah jugak. Eiii... tak tahu la nak komen apa pada diri sendiri. Inilah yang dirasa sekarang. Hari Sabtu lalu ada midterm exam. Pada mulanya rasa macam dah bersedia. Iyalah dah review lectures' notes, dah baca 6 chapters yang diberitahu oleh lecturer, juga dah review last semester's notes and past semesters questions. Tambah lagi ada pulak bincang-bincang dengan rakan sekelas. Tapi... bila lepas exam nya, hati rasa cuak betul. Tah apa-apa dijawab tadi. Segala yang dibaca, difaham, dihafal macam bayangan je. Macamana ni... Apa nak buat lagi lepas ni untuk hadapi final exam pulak? Aduh! Berpusing-pusing kepala memikirkan hal ni...

Think...think..think...

Hati yang terguris

Bila hati terguris,
Rasanya terlalu sedih,
Pedih...

Apa harus dibuat...?
Menangis?
Meluahkan rasa terbuku?
Atau pendamkan saja...?

(Pendamlah selagi boleh...)

Sunyinya keseorangan

10 Safar 1430H:

Baru saja dua jam ditinggal keseorangan, rasanya begitu sunyi... sepi... Kalau biasanya petang-petang begini, bising suara abang kakak adik berebut remote, komputer, atau sibuk keluar masuk rumah, main bola. Ni walaupun dah pasang tv, depan pc pulak tu, hati rasa sunyi sepi.

Kesnya, mereka semua ikut ayah balik kampung tadi. Kebetulan ayah ada kerja di sana, dan Isnin ni cuti lagi, sambil-sambil tu boleh ikut hantar nenek balik. Ibu? Sedih... tak boleh ikut sebab esok lusa ada kelas. Sebab ibu pelajar yang baik ;-) ... ibu tak ponteng kelas. Nanti anak-anak ikut pulak di lain kali. Tak apa la... hati-hati ya ayah pandu kereta sorang-sorang tu. Semoga selamat di perjalanan pergi dan balik.

Tak sabar menunggu riuh kembali...

p/s dlm hati... buat assignment weh... banyak lagi belum buat tu...hehehe...

Happy 8th Birthday, Adik!

Adik turns 8 today. Alhamdulillah...

But ibu has to leave home early and come back late for weekend classes. Sorry ya Adik...

Sayang Adik selalu...

Bersemangat ke sekolah

Hari ini dan semalam, Adik begitu bersemangat nak ke sekolah. Berbeza pada Isnin lepas, Adik begitu liat nak bangun ke sekolah. Hari ni seawal 6.15 am Adik dah ketuk pintu bilik ibu... nak ikat rambut! Bulat mata ibu tengok Adik dah siap mandi dan lengkap berbaju sekolah. Macam tak percaya je begitu bersemangat pulak Adik. Sambil rambut Adik disikat untuk diikat dua, Adik pun bercerita yang hari ini Adik ada latihan menyanyi lagu Hookey Pookey (..?) dan cikgu nak pilih siapa yang akan buat persembahan di sekolah nanti. Ooo... patutlah Adik cukup bersemangat... hemmm...

Imej Kakak Tahun 2009

Imej baru Kakak di tahun 5 tahun 2009.

Hujung tahun lepas, sebelum sekolah mula bercuti, Kakak dengan gembira membawa balik satu borang... memberitahu yang dia terpilih menjadi pengawas pusat sumber.

Minggu lepas masa mula sesi sekolah tahun 2009, Kakak belum berimej baru ni sebab ibu belum jahitkan lencana dan belum cari tali leher hijau tu. Hujung minggu pertama sekolah, semasa makan tengahari Jumaat Kakak bercerita... "Ibu, cikgu kata siapa tak pakai baju kemeja tu hari Isnin nanti, tak boleh jadi pengawas atau pengawas pusat sumber tau...". Hemm... berkias jugak Kakak ni...

Jadi, malam tadi sibuklah si ibu menyiapkan segala macam kelengkapan pakaian baru Kakak. Pagi tadi, Kakak bangun awal dan bersiap dengan gembiranya. Tersenyum seronok... Mungkin bangga juga terdetik di hati dia kot... ;)

Tapi si Adik langsung sebaliknya. Susahnya nak bangun tidur. Dah 7.10 am pun masih berselimut walaupun dah dikejutkan oleh 4 orang. Mula-mula abang, kakak, kemudian ayah dan akhirnya ibu datang kejut dengan mengelap air ke muka Adik. Masuk ke bilik air pun didukung ibu. Jirus ala kadar, pakaikan baju, ikat rambut... dah turun cepat! Kakak, Abang dah tunggu dalam kereta. Muka monyok je masuk kereta bawak twigiess vanila sebagai sarapan... Adik... adik...
